Thank you for this recipe! My kids love granola but I hate to buy commercial brands because they are loaded with sugar and preservatives. This is an awesome alternative and my kids can help me make it.

I whipped some up this morning as I was checking this recipe out last night on your face book page. I must say they were wonderful. Not too soft not too hard. A big hit with the entire fam. Thanks for sharing !

this is yummy, definitely will be making these.. I don’t know how much money I have been spending on bars for me and family my grandchildren eat them up, don’t know why i didn’t just do this before , Dah !! loll
thanks for share @tisonlyme143

This sounds like a really great recipe my kids love granola bars but it can get really expensive when your trying to feed 5 kids. Not to mention my 14yr old son can go through 2 boxes in a day so this sounds like a great way to save money and to feed them a healthier snack.

We usually have granola bars for treats in our home. The recipe is something like making Rice Krispies treats & we love making and eating them! I am copying & pasting this in a Word Doc so that I can share it with others in an email as an attachment. THANKS so much!
